    Study Notes

    Relationships in MS Access

    • MS Access is a relational database that splits data into connected tables.
    • Relationships exist between two or more tables when they have a connection or association.

    Common Field for Relationships

    • A common field is required for a relationship to exist between two tables.
    • The field type must be the same in both tables for a relationship to exist.
    • Example: Inventory table has an Item ID field, and Customer's Order table has an Item ID field, allowing the two tables to be related by that field.

    Creating Relationships in MS Access

    • Close all open tables before creating relationships.
    • On the Database Tools tab, click Relationships.
    • On the Relationship Tools Design tab, click the Show Table button.
    • Double-click each table in the Show Table dialog box to add them to the relationship design.

    Benefits of Creating Relationships

    • After defining relationships between tables, you can create queries, forms, and reports to display information from multiple tables at once.
    • Access can bring together information from different tables, even if they were initially set up separately.
